At my firm, we refer to ‘interior windows’ as borrow lites. I guess it’s an Architect thingy. However, we never refer to a window being exterior. It’s simply a window.

At the webpage at KGO AM 810 News, it says:

Police believe that the suspect, Oscar Ramiro Ortega, of Idaho, is mentally ill. Ortega has an extensive record, ranging from domestic violence to drug charges. Sources say a police investigation has uncovered evidence suggesting that Ortega has a fixation on the White House. ...

... U.S. Park Police say Ortega may have spent time blending in with Occupy D.C. protesters.


Mentally ill !?! No kiddin' ! And yet, one of Obama's own, turns on him.

Since when does the SS detail the ballistics of a case such as this?

Major red flags here. Especially with ‘Idaho’ in the mix.

When someone says you were ‘blending in’, they mean you were
there as a spy or infiltrator.

This is National Security and DOES NOT belong in the public purvey unless someone needs it there.
